The Highlanders, along with Ticket Direct and Dunedin Venues Management Ltd, are offering former Cadbury employees affected by redundancy, following the closure of the Cadbury factory in Dunedin, a double pass to the game between the Highlanders and Brumbies at Forsyth Barr Stadium next Saturday.
Some 720 tickets — 360 double passes — will be given to the former Cadbury employees.
Each former employee will receive two tickets in the south stand.
They will be be available for pick up from the south stand box office this Friday or Saturday. The only thing needed is photo identification.
The offer is for staff affected by the redundancies only.
Highlanders chief executive Roger Clark said the Highlanders and partners were happy to help.
"The Highlanders, DVML and Ticket Direct know that Cadbury employees have experienced the stress of redundancy recently.
"We all enjoy a tremendous amount of support from our community and this is a small way in which we can repay that support," he said.
